Cypress-Axe reporter that outputs accessibility violations in a HTML format.

Example report

Setup

This setup tutorial works with Cypress >= v10, and Cypress-Axe >= v1.5.0

1. install cypress-axe-reporter

   npm i --save-dev cypress-axe-reporter

   or

   yarn add -D cypress-axe-reporter

2. Change cypress reporter & setup hooks

   Edit config file (cypress.config.js by default)

   const { defineConfig } = require("cypress");
   
   module.exports = defineConfig({
       reporter: "cypress-axe-reporter",
       e2e: {
           setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
               require("cypress-axe-reporter/plugin")(on);
           },
       },
   });

   If you are to override before:run or after:run hooks, use this:

   const { defineConfig } = require("cypress");
   const { beforeRunHook, afterRunHook } = require("cypress-axe-reporter/lib");
   
   module.exports = defineConfig({
       reporter: "cypress-axe-reporter",
       e2e: {
           setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
               on("before:run", async (details) => {
                   await beforeRunHook(details);
               });
   
               on("after:run", async (results) => {
                   await afterRunHook(results);
               });
           },
       },
   });

3. Add to cypress/support/e2e.js

   import "cypress-axe-reporter/register";

4. Specify cy.cypressAxeReporterCallBack as the violationCallback argument

   it("check for violations", () => {
       cy.checkA11y(null, null, cy.cypressAxeReporterCallBack);
   });

5. Run cypress

Custom options

If you want to customize your HTML report, add the desired flags to reporterOptions

const { defineConfig } = require("cypress");

module.exports = defineConfig({
    reporter: "cypress-axe-reporter",
    reporterOptions: {
        reportDir: "cypress/report-folder/",
    },
    e2e: {
        setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
            require("cypress-axe-reporter/plugin")(on);
        },
    },
});
